I just "discovered" that I have a ge.tt acount, the same website where ixtab keeps some of his kindle image files shared (at least before using ixtab.tk), and I see that I have had thousands of downloads of debricking images from my mirror as well:

I have had tens of thousands of downloads from my mediafire account, so yeah, I thinking my debricking efforts (packaged inside ixtab's kubrick wrapper) have done some good in the world...

I think it is time to update kubrick to handle newer kindles (or at least newer firmware images for kubrick already manages). Perhaps we can add support for newer kindles too, even if that means photographic instructions about how to open a kindle and tape foam and stick-pins to the serial port connections.

And for folks with more than one kindle, we can bend a kindle into being a USB TTL serial adapter, rather than making them purchase such a single-purpose device when they already own a kindle collection (don't we all?)...
